| The Veil Nebula | |||||||
 |
|||||||
| The veil nebula is all that's left of a star that went supernova about 6000 years ago. The entirety of the veil nebula covers a vast expanse of sky within the constellation cygnus spanning almost the width of full moons! Under absolutely ideal conditions, this nebula can be seen with the naked eye as a smoky wisp in the southern wing of cygnus the swan. The blue in this photograph is emission from O-III and the red/pink is from Hydrogen Alpha emission (H-II). Technical Data Scope: 105mm Astrophysics Traveler Guiding: ST4 Camera: Canon 20d Composition: 8 10 minute exposures registered in registar and stacked in photoshop Filters: none |
